I had been loosely following RAM shortages, but Micron leaving the consumer market made me take a deeper look.

If you're like me, and filed away as 'a thing that is happening', it's worth starting to take a look. It's getting pretty bad, pretty quick.

My dream is where I have 7 friends in a cul-de-sac I don't live in.

Zaheed is a S-Tier companion in Mass Effect, held back only by the fact that Bioware didnt think so.

@alyssa_merc You put up incredible numbers while dealing with a ton of shit. Hell of an innings, Alyssa.

I was thinking a month or two ago that Vince is up there with the absolute greats in terms of impact in the gaming industry. Just an enormous presence, and often, not recognised enough.

Horrible. RIP. Thoughts are with his family.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Vince Zampella has sadly passed away at the age of 55 in a car accident.

He was a co-creator of the Call of Duty franchise as well as the co-founder of Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment.

He was currently working as the head of Battlefield

Real question: how can a competition format be more mature?

[Overwatch Anonymous @OWAnonymous_]

Overwatch 1, even when no new content was coming out and all we got was occasional balance patches at the end of its life, was still more enjoyable than Overwatch 2 has ever been.

@Lewis_D_White The arrogance to suggest it.

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

I could fix her? No. She'd make me worse.

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

The movie has a very high "Bro" percentage which im very into.

I dunno what to tell you, man. I really liked Avatar 3.

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

The best thing about Avatar is how unashamedly weird it is. Its lore and the bio-psychodelic fixation is ripped from some back-of-the-library 1970s sci-fi book, but its the biggest film franchise in the world.

@falloutplays good

@mizliz_ is it me?

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

I really like the idea of a time skip for Destiny 3. Exploring the universe after a potentia lsecond fall would be interesting.

Hearing hushes about "The Guardian" and what became of them, digging through our current future as if it were past - there's something there.

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

I adore Marathon's vibes. It feels quite daring to have a live service game that is obviously trying to make you feel something other than a celebration of excess.

However, that also worries me. Will people consistently come back to a world that feels this antagonistic and dour?

[Patrick Dane @PatrickDane]

Hey, I have a question... how is her spine doing this?

[Marvel Rivals Intel @RivalsAssembled]
